Pace, pace, pace. You may think it's lazy to simply point out a player's speed, but I genuinely think if your full backs are pacey, they've already won half the battle. If they can keep up with the speed merchants of world football, then a bit of fine tuning of their technical stats will result in a wonderful defender.

Nelson Semedo won't dazzle you with his technical right away, though they're all above average and will continue to escalate, but his physical prowess will see him keep up with the nimble wingers who turn your football managing life into a nightmare. The 21-year-old also comes armed with mental toughness and discipline. That's a great bonus for young players.
